If you have checked out loads of Internet sites, you've probably encountered some error message now and again. An error could occur when the web hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you must log in so that you can see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you aren't allowed to access some page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which is not on the web server (Error 404). Receiving this sort of messages may sometimes be aggravating as the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual site. That’s why some hosting companies permit you to apply your own error pages which will match the design of your own website and that may have any content which you would like - details why the error has occurred, a suggestion what you can do or even some humorous comment. This sort of function shall help you keep the visitor on the website regardless of the error and the reason for it.
